October Explore Your Forest Preserve Program: Beginner Bird Walk (10.18.24)

Explore Your Forest Preserve: Beginner Bird Walk; Friday, October 18 from 8:00-10:00 AM: Join Master Naturalists Mary Ellen Blankenship and Jack Coleman for a two-hour walk through the Forest Preserve to see, hear, and learn about some of the birds who call this amazing habitat their home.

This event is free, but you must register HERE for a ticket. There is a limit of 24 people per bird walk.

We’ll meet at Fish Island and walk a loop on the trails covering a couple of miles through a variety of woodland, field, and pond-edge habitats. Dress for the weather and bring a pair of binoculars if you have them. We’ll have a couple of extra pairs on hand.
